This is a review paper based on scholarly works of various authors, to understand how lean variables classified into two categories i.e operational variables and human resource variables affect the firm performance. On the basis of literature survey, authors have proposed a framework and identified scales and items of variables. This framework will certainly offer an opportunity to management researchers or managers to create lean environment and provides stimulus to carry empirical survey.

Abstract


This is a review paper based on scholarly works of various authors, to understand how lean variables classified into two categories i.e operational variables and human resource variables affect the firm performance. On the basis of literature survey, authors have proposed a framework and identified scales and items of variables. This framework will certainly offer an opportunity to management researchers or managers to create lean environment and provides stimulus to carry empirical survey.
